How Belarusians Differ From Russians And Ukrainians

Belarus, Russia and the Ukraine are often perceived as sister nations with pretty identical historical, cultural and economic features. However, as siblings from the same family have different tempers, interests, values and vision of the world the same applies to people living in three countries.

We’ve asked BelarusFeed readers to share their thoughts on the main differences between Belarusians, Russians and Ukranians. And this is what they said!

1. Ridiculously polite

Belarusians have a reputation of friendly and extremely polite people.

Maybe even more polite that Canadians, the most polite nation in the world.

Meanwhile, Ukranians were described as more easy-going, emotional and a bit irrational.
